Ah this looks great. My Dad would buy and sell second hand BBCs and my whole family were well into all of the Repton 3 games. I remember loving discovering the level editor too and proudly making my own themed set of levels which I think scratched a similar itch to programming for 7 year old version of me.
I always thought Repton was the greatest game ever. Am keen to see how it holds up now.
I also remember Imogen being very clever, Citadel I found a bit creepy, and everyone loved Chuckie Egg except me for some reason.
- boltefnovor 6y agoRepton was one of the best games for the Commodore 64 but a completely different game. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=M3c1F6-7qL8 https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=M3c1F6-7qL8
- egypturnash 6y agoToday I learnt that BBC kids had a weird knock-off of Boulder Dash called Repton instead of a weird knock-off of Defender called Repton. :) (Wikipedia claims that Beeb Repton was built entirely on the description of Boulder Dash found in a review, rather than actually playing Boulder Dash.)
- tom_ 6y agoThis is going back a fair few years now, but having played both, my recollection is that Repton is a bit of a different game. The diamonds in are always stationary, and everything else runs in lock step, so there's no chance of outrunning the rocks or the scrolling.
- Symbiote 6y agoRepton has been released as an Android version, and it's a very good port, with all the original levels plus some more. I completed a lot more than when I was 7, but I still haven't solved them all. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.superiorinteractive.repton3 https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.superiorin...
